As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I've been reading through the Julie and the Phantoms novels, and I noticed something interesting in terms of canon/world-building in Whatever Happens (A Julie and the Phantoms Original Novel) by Candice Buford...
(spoilers for the novel ahead)
So, if we assume that the article that Julie shows the boys in ep 1 is canon (and not just something that someone put together for the sake of having something to show onscreen), the date of the article (which you can barely see due to my blurry screenshot) is sometime in July 1995, with the article stating that at the time of writing, the boys had died a week previously.
Tumblr media
The novel is mostly flashbacks of Julie and Luke's memories of their respective 'perfect days', and for Luke, it is the day before the fateful almost-perfornance of Sunset Curve at the Orpheum (AKA the day before Luke, Alex and Reggie die).
He managed to scrape enough money to buy tickets for himself and the rest of Sunset Curve to go to a Foo Fighters concert - not just any Foo Fighters concert, however. Luke mentions that the concert was held at the Palace Theatre... and my detective senses began to tingle.
I love discovering real-life connections to the small details in a show's universe, and I naturally went digging online to see whether Foo Fighters really performed at the Palace Theatre in 1995...
They did.
The Foo Fighters official website (link here) states that they played at the Palace Theatre on 19th May 1995 (and even shows the setlist of songs that they played on the night).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So...
Bearing in mind that in-show canon is usually perceived as being more 'legitimate' than a tie-in original novel, but also knowing that we have only have a week in July 1995 as a rough estimate of the boys' date of death...
Would it be possible to theorise that a possible date of Sunset Curve's almost-performance at the Orpheum (and Luke, Alex and Reggie's death) was actually 20th May 1995?
Just a theory/headcanon/thinking way too deep into a silly kids book 🔍

Random headcanon that I’ve had for a while: Reggie wrote the “hello Bobby” on Bobby/Trevor’s mirror.
We know Luke’s handwriting. It’s all over the place, it’s a scribbly illegible mess, given the many comments by the whole group and seeing his handwriting in Unsaid Emily.
We also see Alex’s in Stand Tall, and it’s pretty neat actually- and besides that he definitely has the neatest handwriting of the group. (Julie’s is probably pretty nice too though-)
Anyway, we never see Reggie’s and I’d like to think it’s messy but still readable, hence why I think he wrote on the mirror.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Where Will We End Up? (Headcanons/Context)
In honor of the resurfacing of JATP S2 rumors, here's some context set in the WWWEU? Universe.
Warnings: mentions of absent fathers, relationships with parents, implied hostile home environment, use of Y/N, Alex is Catholic, implied homophobia, female reader (Let me know if I missed something!)
Luke Patterson
Born November 25, 1977 (13 at the start of the story)
The oldest of the group
Born and raised in Canada
Moved to LA when he was 12 for his 8th-grade year
Only child
Lives with both his parents
Has a good relationship with both but struggles to communicate with his mom more
His dad plays guitar and taught him how to play
Has ADHD
Has a slight accent 
And a stutter
Started cutting the sleeves of his shirts because too much fabric bothered him 
Was overstimulated on the first day of school 
He bumped into Alex in the cafeteria causing both of their trays to fall down
It was his last straw and he exploded
“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”
Y/N put him in his place after he yelled at Alex
He looked for them a few days later to apologize
“I uh, brought cookies?”  
He brings cookies every time he messes up
Doesn’t have physical boundaries with his friends 
It took getting smacked on the forehead by Bobby many, many times for him to understand not to hug him unprompted
Emily loves hosting 
The group used to sleep over at Luke’s a lot 
The more serious Luke got about music, the more arguments he had with his mom
It got so bad he eventually ran away from home
He actually wasn’t allowed in Alex’s room alone anymore after they got caught kissing
Every time he went over to Alex's the air was tense
He stopped showing up the way he used to, instead opting to sneak in
He picked up a job as a waiter at a local diner
The group loves to go in just to terrorize him
Firmly believes that you choose your family and he chose his
Isn’t bad at school, he just can’t focus on it for the life of him
Gets detention a lot because he gets caught not paying attention
The reason they have a zero-tolerance after 3 tardies rule

Lives by the beach 
Likes to sneak out and listen to the waves

He’s not as dense as he makes himself out to be 
He just doesn’t like to think about things too much because it stirs his feelings 
Really good at Math and Science
He likes that it's logical thinking, not emotional
Doesn’t like English because it requires him to tap into emotions and he really doesn’t want to 
He doesn’t like History either because it leaves him bothered by the shitty and unfair past
Has selective mutism 
It kicked in badly during one of his parents' fights 
The longest he’s gone mute was 2 months
It kicks in every now and then but not for as long and not around everyone 
He learned ASL because of it 
Sometimes he uses it outside of an episode just because it’s easier 
Everyone else tries to pick it up, levels of proficiency vary
He found “Wright’s Domain” a comic book shop one day after he had walked out of his house
He spends most of his Summers there
He sits in the same bean bag
The more time he spent there, the more he found himself doing random things 
He’d reorganize comics, reposition figurines and when someone asked him where they could find a specific section he pointed them to it 
The couple that owns the store started to notice him
They left snacks by his bean bag chair with a note thanking him for fixing up
He wrote back a thank you with a doodle of himself holding two thumbs up and an arrow pointing out his name was Reggie 
The snacks waited for him every visit
His voice did come back, at the shop 
He spoke to the owners, Donna and Michael, quite often, they love hearing about his day 
He eventually got a job there

Second to last youngest
Lives with both his parents 
The eldest
He has a younger sister named Sophia 
Had a good relationship with both his parents up until he came out
Always watches out for his sister
He plays tea party and dresses up with her
His dad made a comment about it and Alex stopped doing it so frequently
Grew up Catholic 
He never really thought much of it until he noticed he looked at boys a lot for being a boy himself
He’s not the biggest fan of it anymore
Was already an anxious kid but as he got older; his religious background, his dad's expectations, and being more aware of the world's problems made his anxiety skyrocket
He fidgets by tapping his fingers on a surface or hitting his thighs with his hands 
His parents got him a drum set to help ease it
He met Y/N when they were 7 
He defended her against a bully
He got detention
She walked home with him that day and they realized they lived 3 streets down from each other
Really wants to make his dad proud 
His dad has a lot of traditional views of men which contradict with Alex 95% of the time
His first crush was on Ryan, a boy he went to church with, but he didn’t know it yet 
His stomach dropped when he saw Ryan and another girl share a quick kiss at the park
Developed a crush on Luke  
His first kiss and boyfriend was Luke 
His dad opened the door to Alex’s room and caught them kissing 
His dad stood there, closed the door and walked away
His dad didn’t speak to him at all through dinner
The next day, his dad told him he’d take him to church to repent
Alex said no and came out when he was 15
They got into an argument
His dad didn’t kick him out (to save his image) but told him that until he repented, he wasn’t his son
He was the first to meet Reggie 
They’re in the same Math class and the teacher asked Reggie to tutor him 
They met up after school twice a week
Alex wasn’t looking for a friend but Reggie being the social butterfly he is, didn’t care
The more times they saw each other, the more Alex got used to him and his antics 
He actually understood Math the way Reggie would teach him
One day Luke didn’t want to go home because he had fought with his mom and Y/N was busy, Alex found Reggie to tell him he had to stick to Luke 
Reggie told him Luke was welcome to join their session
Luke sat across from them and wrote in his journal but was still fidgety 
Reggie cut the tutoring session short and invited them out for ice cream
Alex questioned his life choices as Luke and Reggie’s loud personalities mixed
He initiated his and Luke’s first kiss 
And then immediately panicked before Luke laughed and pulled him back in
He was the one who broke up with Luke
There was an awkward air for like 2 minutes before they talked about everything and went back to being best friends
Bobby Shaw
Born March 16, 1978 (13 at the start of the story)
The second oldest of the group
Never knew his dad
Lives with his mom and grandma
Has a good relationship with both
Only child (not really but we'll get into that later)
Keeps to himself mostly
Skates
He paints, though he doesn’t like people looking at his art 
Took an art class during his freshman year 
He never did anything in class
He’d do it at home and sneak in the assignment the next day, nameless
His art teacher caught him one time and told him he’d leave the art room open for him to do his assignments so as long as he starts signing his name
He spends a lot of time in the art room
Close to the art teacher, Mr. Cervantez 
He was the first positive male influence in his life
Befriends Y/N first, she takes an art class with him
He’s actually not sure how to handle social interactions 
He’s pretty awkward 
He helped Luke on their first week of high school
Luke was being picked on and they had taken the beanie off his head 
He stopped Luke from launching himself at the other guys 
“Come on guys, give it back.” 
One of the guys looked at him questioningly 
Bobby stood his ground
The guys tossed the beanie back at Luke and Bobby walked off as soon as they left
Luke approached him weeks later and he internally panicked the whole time
Has problems with authority 
That guy that will touch something after you said not to 
His grandma hates that he does that but he can’t help it
He’s respectful to both his mom and grandma, no one else really
Lacks a filter, has accidentally hurt people’s feelings because of it
Not a big physical touch guy 
He has to be very comfortable with you to initiate touch
All talk 
Like he can’t fight
He’s gotten by on physical appearance alone 
The guys hide behind him all the time and when Y/N needs him, his tall looming presence behind her has people running for the hills
He’s punched one person and one person only
It was Alex’s dad
Y/N Y/L/N
Born September 01, 1978
The youngest of the group
Only child
Lives with her mom
Dad walked out when she was 7
Her mom started drinking, causing the mother-daughter bond to break
Spends the night at Alex’s a lot
The first time, her bed was set up in Sophia’s room 
After everyone had gone to sleep she snuck into Alex’s room 
The next day, his parents found her sleeping at the edge of his bed with his blanket draped over the edge also to cover Alex who slept on the floor
After it happened 3 more times, they stopped trying to separate the two 
She has clothes in the bottom drawer of Alex’s dresser
Alex’s number 1 protector
They made friendship bracelets, purple yarn for her and blue for Alex 
Luke and her = sibling energy 
Likes to wear other people's clothes
Makes her feel like they’re with her and she’s not alone
Literally carrying their love with her
It started with one of the shirts her dad left behind 
She likes Alex’s hoodies, Luke’s beanies and in the Summer she’ll snag one of his sleeveless tees, Reggie’s flannels and in the Winter his leather jacket, Bobby’s t-shirts and vests
The guys knock on her door when they can’t find the item they want to wear because they know she has it
She and Alex remade their friendship bracelets to include Luke (Orange)
She made them remake them later once Bobby (Green) and Reggie (Red) became part of their little group
All 5 of them wear it no matter what
She likes to draw
Was the first to befriend Bobby in art class
She admired him from afar (because look at him) and wondered what he did, given that he always slept in the class
One time while waiting for Alex and Luke to get out of detention, she walked around school and caught Bobby in the art room
His back was to her and he wore headphones as he painted
She loved his piece and wondered why he never did anything in class
Wrote him sticky notes encouraging him to show his work
Eventually, he wrote back saying he’d reveal his work if she revealed who she was
It was a deal and they started talking more afterwards
Luke was upset when he learned she was friends with Bobby 
Mostly because he thought Bobby was a dick (a dick he tried to be friends with first but failed)

I have this headcanon that whenever Alex gets like really anxious he puts his hand on his heart to feel his heartbeat and it helps him calm down a little. So now imagine him and Luke and Reggie die and they end up in the dark room and Alex starts to panic because they literally just died and now he can't see anything and doesn't know where he is and what's going to happen to them and then he tries to feel his heartbeat and it's just Not There..

I always had a Julie and the Phantoms hc where Flynn wants to listen to Sunset Curve so Julie puts their demo on and that’s how they find out it makes her able to see the boys and so they plan on trying to get super mega viral to play the demo for as many people around the world so that even though they’re dead, people can see them 🥺
Plus then I could get a Bobby/Trevor apologizing and explaining that after the boys died, the producers or whatever (I’m not good with how any of that works sorry fjhsakjdf) told Bobby that either he plays Luke’s songs or they’ll give it to other artists and he didn’t want that so while being so confused and hurt and grieving, he recorded the songs as a way to honor Luke but he was always too heartbroken about losing his best friends to hash through it for his own fans.

Julie: I really like this whole 'good guy, bad guy' thing you guys have going on.
Flynn: It's not an act, I'm just mean and Reggie isn't.
Julie, coming to that realisation: oh yeah you right my bad.

it's been so long since i rewatched the Unsaid Emily episode of JATP but holy, shit does it still hit so fucking hard
when luke's hiding in the bushes outside of his parents' house because he misses them- misses his mother- and regrets the way he ran off, but was too proud to apologize. and maybe too full of guilt and regret to come back before he did what he set out to do.
but he missed her and she missed him and he wrote an entire song about it and his band sang it together and im just 😭😭😭😭
maybe after his band played at the orpheum he would have gone back. maybe he could have gone back and said "look! i did it! im sorry for leaving but i did it! can i come home now?"
maybe that would have been enough to start mending the gap
maybe they would have had a chance to play more than one song, and maybe the second would have been Unsaid Emily, and maybe she would have known. maybe she would have been standing by the door waiting for him to come back.
but he dies, and the song is lost for twenty years, and his mother never knew that he was so sorry or that he even thought about her after running away, not until julie.
he gets the chance to finally say everything he always meant to say to her, he gets to see his mother read his old words and read the love in them.
im nearly sobbing from this scene again it's so fucking good. so powerful.

Can you do some headcanons where 90’s Reggie takes his girlfriend to a carnival? 
jatp!! omg it's been too long since i wrote for jatp
masterlist
Tumblr media
Let’s be real, the carnival is the best possible spot for a date with Reggie
The man’s got an attention span that lasts about five minutes, and the fact that there are so many things to do at the carnival is fantastic for everyone involved
This is only encouraged by the limitless amount of fair food that the two of you will buy
After all, if you’re not hyped up on enough sugar to kill a lesser god, are you even having fun?
Reggie will argue this point for the entirety of the night, even after he crashes and practically falls asleep on your shoulder while you’re on the Ferris wheel
He’s also surprisingly intense about his dedication to win you a stuffed animal from one of the games
The two of you take a lap around the carnival to decide which stuffed prize is the cutest and thus worth the effort of playing the games
However, that just makes Reggie want to win all of them for you, a task which is both unsustainable and almost impossible
Doesn’t mean he won’t try, though!
Reggie also wants to go on as many rides as possible, although he only wants to do the ones that you’re interested in
No matter how much Reggie is loving the carnival, he still glances over at you all the time to make sure you’re having just as good a time as he is
After all, Reggie’s ideal night isn’t just the carnival lights and chipper music and delicious food, it’s you right there next to him
And when the night finally disappears behind you, Reggie’s as glad as ever to have you by his side <3

This was supposed to be a cute, nerdy headcanon for Reggie. It evolved into … something. Featuring a moment Juke at the end cause it's juke jeudi, and they keep worming their way into everything I write. But the Juke part can be ignored.
・°☆°・
The moment Reggie digs up his old, chunky Nintendo Game Boy (the chunky grey one), he's filled with true joy. So after ransacking the Molina house for batteries, he flings himself onto the couch in the living room. He spends hours playing Mario, deeply concentrated, brows furrowed, and the tip of his tongue poking out between his lips. Meanwhile, Julie and Carlos are watching him, baffled by this ancient technology. (Like, how the **** is this thing still working after 25+ years?!)
Later, Ray enters the living room. He's horrified by the chaos Reggie caused when he hunted down the batteries -- Victoria won't be amused. But when he sees the Game Boy and hears the familiar melody of the game, he's hit by a wave of nostalgia. He suddenly buzzes with childlike excitement and sidles up to the couch to peek over the backrest.
Engrossed, he watches as Reggie maneuvers Mario through the level, hissing when an enemy is coming too close or balling his hand into a fist to appreciate a well-executed jump.
But eventually, they hear the unmistakable melody that pronounces Mario's death. Both groan and Reggie throws his Game Boy away, sulking.
Ray clears his throat, and Reggie jerks his head around, staring at Ray, wide-eyed.
"You know …," Ray ventures, uncertain if his advice is appreciated. "There's a secret passage right behind this wall?"
Reggie just keeps looking at him, blinking hard. For a moment, Ray fears he's gone too far with his advice. Then, without saying a word, Reggie picks up the Game Boy and restarts the game, testing Ray's suggestion. And sure enough, it works. He lets out a squeal of success, then leaps to his feet and throws his arms around Ray. Ray, perplexed, pats the boy's back.
And then Reggie literally drags Ray around the couch, forcing him to sit down, shoving the Game Boy into his hands, and they have the bestest of bonding moments ever!
(And Julie maybe has a minor mental breakdown because, once again, she's reminded of how old her boys would have been if they hadn't died.)
BONUS: JUKEBOX
Later, Luke and Alex show up. Luke's already displeased because Reggie and Julie are late for band practice. But as soon as Luke spies the Game Boy, he's seething with anger. Alex has to forcibly restrain Luke from launching himself at the bassist.
As the boys wrestle, worsening the chaos in the living room, Alex explains that, back in '95, Reggie was obsessed with his Game Boy. More than once, he ditched band practice to save virtual princesses. Naturally, Luke was extremely pissed. The last time it happened, he swore to set "That Damn Thing" on fire if Reggie ever missed rehearsal again.
"So," Julie says slowly, frowning at Luke, who is pinned to the floor after Alex used his height to his advantage. "You are jealous of a … a Game Boy?"
"No," says Luke.
"Yes," says Alex.
Julie just laughs, shaking her head in fond exasperation. As Alex and Luke bicker about the exact definition of jealousy and whether the term is applicable, she notices Carlos edging closer to the couch, too, clearly intrigued by the excitement the game is causing.
"Well," Julie says, "Since we're a bassist short today, we better postpone rehearsal. I think we can all make excellent use of some spare time."
She winks at Alex, who shoots her a smile, his cheeks turning pink.
"But it's Thursday," Luke protests indignantly. "We always rehearse on Thursday and …" He trails off when he registers the look of stunned disbelief on Julie's face. He blinks, confused. Then realization dawns on him, and his eyes grow huge.
"Oh …," Luke breathes out. Like an excited puppy eager for his walk, he jumps to his feet, knocking Alex over. He scurried over to Julie. "I think you're absolutely right."
In a gesture of mock chivalry, he offers her his arm, wiggling his brows suggestively, causing Alex to make a ratcheting noise before the drummer poofs away to search for Willie.
Julie lets out an undignified snort. Instead of accepting the offered arm, she leans forward and quickly pecks his lips. Bedazzled, Luke stares at her, and Julie cannot stifle the giggle that bubbles up inside her, which only intensifies the look of awe on Luke's face. An electrical spark runs down her spine, making her nerves tingle. She gently takes his hand, intertwining their fingers, and she leads him up the stairs.
(They both jump the last step. At the same moment, Mario lets out his characteristical joyful shout of success.)

Reggie loves having his nails painted but they never last be he picks at them. Alex and Luke have their nails painted occasionally- Alex because his nails can last for weeks, and Luke because he chews it off immediately and is very bad at sitting still long enough to have his nails painted.
Absolutely!
I think all of them like having painted nails, but they have very different opinions on the actual nail painting process.
Alex likes having painted nails to give his look a little feminine touch, because he usually appears quite masculine (also because it would piss his parents off). But he doesn't like painting them himself, because he's always unsatisfied with how messy it looks at the end. So he gets Julie or Willie to do it for him and he really likes that, talking about random stuff while Willie draws swirly designs onto his ring finger, it's really relaxing.
Luke thinks painted nails are so cool, so rock star, so emo, especially in black. But because he's a little hyperactive rabbit, painting his nails is always stressful for everyone involved. He has trouble sitting still while either he paints them or has someone else paint them, so they take breaks for him to stim and shake out his hands in between. Then comes the drying period which is also hard, because he can't touch anything with freshly painted nails. He's given the couch enough small black spots to know about that. So he just sits or paces around the room, hands raised to eye level, to keep his nails from touching anything. Once dry, they're all relieved and Luke can go about his day, only to come back four hours later with chips at the tips. Also Julie gets him some chewelery so he doesn't bite on them.
Reggie almost prefers the act of nail painting to actually having painted nails (although he also really loves that.) He likes trying out different colours and fun designs, almost like his nails are an artwork (they are). Unfortunately he's never gotten over the habit of picking at his nails when he's nervous. Julie also gets him a fidget toy, which helps, but it doesn't stop it, which Reggie is always sad about. One day Julie borrows Flynn's semi professional nail design kit and gives Reggie like gel nails or something, really short so it doesn't overstimulate him and it doesn't affect his bass playing. That really does the trick, because it makes it much harder to pick the design off, so Reggie chooses the fidget toy over his nails. Great success.
Once Julie tries to have like a nail painting party, but the boys immediately get distracted by each other, that they quickly go back to having their nails painted individually. She loves doing it though.
Thank you, this is such a great headcanon!!
Forehead kisses for you! One for each band member 😘😘😘😘+😘 for Flynn
Send me asks with headcanons!
